  • Soft rhyming text is easy to read aloud
  • A keepsake for generations

Beautiful pictures and cute storyline

This book has BEAUTIFUL illustrations and such a cute storyline. It's about a baby mouse and a momma mouse and they go throughout their day in the snow, rain, sunshine, moonlight, etc. It has a really good use of repetition. The book is really sturdy, sturdier than a lot of other board books we have. One of my favorites!

Well made, well done

This book is absolutely adorable and beautifully illustrated. It's made of a puffy, durable plastic-y substance. We gave it to my mom as part of a "Surprise, you're going to be a grandma" gift. She cried.

Beautiful!

Wonderful illustrations Very touching! The child is the sunshine, rainbow, bright star, and moon beam in a parent's life. Love this book!

Simple Message of Love

I ordered this for my great nephew. I think he and his parents will be pleased. It's a cute book with a simple message of love and always being there for those you love. It's a sturdy board book; therefore, it should hold up to repeated use. I imagine this is going to be a "favorite" book as he grows up.

Very sweet book! Was a great gift!

My favorite book

This is my favorite book to read to my 10 month old son. It was the perfect length when he was a newborn, and now that he's older he loves to help turn the page and point to pictures. The illustrations are gorgeous and so bright. I love the storyline, it's so sweet! I get this book for new parents and baby showers.

Great illustrations, great words, great book

This is a really cute book for a little one. It's about unconditional love and support from a parental figure. I love that the relationship is unspecified. I gave it to the little girl I nanny to remind her that I'll always be there for her, no matter what.

Beautiful illustrations, book about the bond between parent and child

Such a cute book. It has become a family favorite and is a part of of nightly reading rotation. The illustration is simply beautiful and the words of love tug at the heart strings of this momma.

Used Book

I purchased what I thought was a "new" book only to discover that the "To" "From" in the book was completed "TO: __(name)_____&____(name)____, FROM: Meme and Pau" and dated "4/21/19!" This is the first time I've ever been this disappointed with an Amazon purchase. This was part of a birthday gift I needed next week, but, It will be returned.

Fun for interaction with my grandson.

My grandson loves for me to sing these little books to him. When I first sang the little songs to him, I didn’t have the books. He would listen if I sang it once, but then wanted to do something else. With the book to look at as I sing, he really gets into it. He wants to read them again and again.

This book is adorable. However, the copy I received has a misprint-they double printed a page.

Will You Be My Sunshine

I love books that represent the love between a parent and a child. We have a bookshelf of them in our home, and they are the constant books that I always reach for when I am reading to my children. Our children should always hear how much we love them as parents. To me, books are just another perfect where to share our love as parents with our children. Will You Be My Sunshine, by Julia Lobo, is a cute board book for parents to add to their repertoire of books on their children's bookshelves. It tells the story of a mother mouse and a child mouse going throughout their lives. As the two are doing their day-to-day activities, the little mouse is asking his mother lots of questions, such as “Will she be his sunshine on a rainy day?” or “Will she be his rainbow when all seems dull and gray?” For every question, the mother mouse has the perfect response to her child's many questions. Her responses are full of the love that all parents have for their children. The responses are gentle and pure. Will You Be My Sunshine is a book that all babies will enjoy. The book is simple and all the illustrations are bright and baby-friendly. The words are plain but they reign true in regards to the love between parents and their children.

A new classic baby book - sweet story and beautifully illustrated

This is one of our favorite books to read to our now 8 month old. Sweet story, writing has a nice rhyming cadence, and great underlying message of unconditional love. The illustrations are enchanting and beautifully done. The book itself is very well made and is built to last. I'm glad, because this is one of our favorites and deserves a place in any library of kid's books. I think this book deserves a place in the pantheon of classic baby books like Goodnight Moon, its that good!

Perfect for all ages, beautiful book!

I can’t say anything that hasn’t already been said about this book. It was a gift for my 6mo baby and I love it so much. The lyrics are “sing-song-y” in a way that is easy to read and appeals to a baby but not too young for older readers to enjoy. Illustrations are completely saturated with details, rich colors and sweet nuance. And don’t miss the back cover, it has the final line to the story!!

I bought the only two of this book in a store today so happy to find myself a copy for my collection of children's books, I found this to be a fun sweet love between parent & child, also with an intriguing illustrator. I feel my grandchildren will love this one, can't wait to read it again now with little listeners.

My 2 year old favorite book!

My little two year old is obsessed with this book, he pulls this one off the shelf at least twice a day. He loves the glossy pages, the vivid pictures, the repetitive verse and the cute little mouse and mommy mouse pictures. It's truly a beautiful story. I'm a little surprised and smitten that he gravitated toward this over dragons and monster stories.

Must buy

This is my one year old son’s favorite book. When he was younger, the bright colors and bold outlines made the pictures very easy to see. It has enough rhyme and repetition for a smooth melodic read. Perfect size, durable, and love that the front has a place to write a message. I’m surprised this book isn’t more popular

Go-to Shower Gift!

I bought this book when I was pregnant with my son, and it has quickly become a go-to baby shower book to give my friends. The message is so sweet and loving, and the illustrations are lovely. I also love the soft outside cover and the chunky board pages - it will definitely stand the test of time and get a lot of reads!

Perfect

This the absolute cutest most darling book ever. It's my babies favorite and we read it every night. The story is adorable, the illustrations are beautiful. This is my baby and my book forever and he will keep it and read it to his kids.

Beautiful book!

This is our favorite bedtime book. The illustrations and story are beautiful.

Beautiful Message and Lovely Illustrations

I received this book as a baby shower present and it has since become a cherished part of our bedtime routine. My babies love it as much as I do as they smile through the whole read aloud! I love ending our day with these lovely illustrations and beautiful message of love!

Favorite book for babies

This is my favorite book for our little girl - we've been reading it to her daily since she was born (we have two copies) and we all LOVE it (even 8 months later). Cutest illustrations and a wonderful, positive message (that rhymes!). I want ALL of the books by this author and this illustrator. Makes an awesome gift too!

Love this!!

I love this book and story! Bright colors and cute wording. Perfect for starting a book selection for a nursery!

Perfect Board Book! <3

A passed board book with nicely rounded corners (to avoid sharp bumps to baby's head), this book is charming! This sweet, sing-song tone is lovely, and I honestly teared up the first time I read it. The illustrations are adorable, and the pages are well made to withstand grabbing hands. The main character, a little mouse, is never established as a girl or boy mouse, so children of either gender can identify instead of this being pigeonholed as a "boy" or "girl" book only.

Beautiful artwork. Nice story line. It's one of my favorites.
